Infographic: U.S. States With the Most Doctors

Key Takeaways

There are about 280,000 primary care doctors in America (as of 2022, per newest data released in November, 2024).
However, they are unevenly distributed across the country with some areas (like the Northeast) reporting a higher rate for their populations.
Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, and Rhode Island all have more than 10 doctors available per 10,000 residents.
On the other hand, Texas and Mississippi have fewer than 7.
